You will take absolute ownership of your section while floating to support the wider brigade, ensuring every plate leaving the pass meets our exact standards for quality, temperature, and presentation.
At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating great experiences for our guests and each other. That is why we back our teams to be themselves, take ownership, learn new skills, and grow their careers. Previous experience is great, but your attitude and energy matter much more to us. If you are friendly, positive, love working with people, and enjoy being part of a busy team, we will give you all the support, training, and opportunities you need. Because it really does take a Village.
We live our culture through four simple commitments:
We Can & We Do: We show up to make a genuine difference and do fantastic work everyday, with purpose.
We Will: Treat each other with respect and dignity. No ego, no drama. We try our best and look out for each other.
We Care: We care about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.
As our Kitchen Team Leader and CDP, you are the engine of the shift. We trust you to handle:
The Kitchen Floor: Operating as a hands on Chef de Partie. You will run your own section flawlessly while controlling the wider flow of work, monitoring portion sizes, and jumping in to assist other chefs when the tickets pile up.
